abstract: 'India is undergoing a rapid transition to renewable energy; the Gujarat
Solar Park typifies this transition. In addition to mitigating climate
change, the Gujarat Solar Park boasts female empowerment through social
development schemes. This manuscript is inspired by the following
research question: To what extent are gender positive'' processes and
projects associated with solar development in India realized on the
ground? Utilizing mixed methods fieldwork and drawing on literature from
feminist political ecology, this paper demonstrates how the modalities
of solar park development represent an antinomy of a nature-society
relation. New configurations of labor under the political economy of
solar have produced a gendered surplus population of landless peasants
who are not absorbed into wage-labor employment in the solar park.
Further, associated social development schemes actually disempower
women, despite mandates of `gender positive'' outcomes by UN-based
climate treaties to which this project is beholden. The opportunity to
participate in one such scheme for female empowerment was reserved for
only women of middle-to-high class status and those of dominant castes,
thereby reproducing class and caste-based social power asymmetries.
Female (dis)empowerment eclipses `gender positive'' guarantees of the
solar park. This study highlights some unintended consequences of
sustainable energy transitions in the Global South at the local scale.
Designing development interventions related to climate change mitigation
that boast `gender positive'' outcomes must be careful not to exacerbate
gender disparities and economic exclusion in rural areas. (C) 2020
